Review“A superbly written clinical authority, replete with supportive basic science data and strong background in surgical history. It is an up-to-date textbook and invaluable reference for the practicing surgeon. This textbook is sure to take its place among the finest ever published for general surgeons.”—JAMA“A brief review such as this cannot do justice to a textbook that is sure to take its place among the finest ever published for general surgeons…marvel at the quality of the information presented by the authors, the outstanding editorship, the superb illustrations, and, by the way, the modest cost in a time of escalating and often unaffordable prices for medical students and residents.”—JAMADescriptionFirst published in 1936, the Sabiston Textbook has served generations of surgeons as the defining text in the field. The 17th Edition carries on this distinguished legacy, presenting the world’s most thorough, useful, readable, and understandable coverage of the principles and techniques of surgery. Sweeping changes include comprehensive updates to reflect the latest knowledge and techniques…a new, full-color page layout for enhanced ease of reference…a new CD-ROM containing electronic images…and a new companion web site, regularly updated to cover important changes in practice.
